Nasa Chief Jared Isaacman says the new space race has already begun, and this time it is with China in the race to land on Moon by 2030
- PC: ReutersThe competition to return humans to the Moon is no longer being spoken about as a distant ambition.
- According to Nasa Administrator Jared Isaacman, it has become a direct contest between the United States and China, with both countries working towards lunar landings within a remarkably similar timeframe.
- Although official schedules suggest the US is targeting a return in 2028 while China has set its sights on landing astronauts before 2030, Isaacman believes the practical difference between those goals is much smaller than it appears.
